ABC News reports:
Nearly all 16 of 17 cases identified by ABC News are striking in that court documents and direct evidence reflect someone echoing presidential rhetoric, not protesting it. ABC News was unable to find any such case echoing presidential rhetoric when Barack Obama or George W. Bush were in the White House.
In addition, the research revealed that those invoking Trumps name were mostly white men ranging in age from teens to late 60s.
The crimes found by ABC also include threats to other journalists.

(13,523 posts)According to police, a 58-year-old Mexican immigrant sleeping outside the JFK/UMass MBTA station was attacked by two South Boston brothers who were on their way home from a Red Sox game. State Police say Steven and Scott Leader both urinated on the man and beat him with a metal pole.
After they were arrested, one of them admiringly quoted his political hero. Donald Trump was right; all these illegals need to be deported, Scott Leader said.
Obviously, Trump isnt personally responsible for the alleged behavior of two men in another state. But his reaction to hearing of the alleged beating of a Hispanic man was hardly worthy of a candidate for the Oval Office.
It would be a shame. . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.
